Scenes

Creating a Scene

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
  const sceneRef = operation.createScene('Scene Name');
  const scene = await operation.entityForRef(sceneRef);
  console.log(scene.name);
}, 'Create a Scene');

Updating the camera from the current view

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    operation.sceneUpdate(scene, {use_camera: true});
}, 'Update a Scene');

Removing a scene

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    operation.removeScene(scene);
}, 'Remove a Scene');

Programmatically setting scene camera

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    operation.sceneSetCamera(scene, SketchUpApi.Camera.default().build());
}, 'Update scene');

Programmatically setting scene axes

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    operation.sceneSetAxes(scene, [0, 10, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]);
}, 'Update scene');

Programmatically updating scene shadow info

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    operation.shadowInfoSetCity("Gotham", scene);
}, 'Update scene');

Programmatically hiding tags/folders

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    const tag = operation.createTag('new tag');
    const tagFolder = operation.createTagFolder('new tag folder');
    operation.sceneSetTagVisibility(scene, tag, false);
    operation.sceneSetTagFolderVisibility(scene, tagFolder, false);
}, 'Update scene');

Programmatically hiding elements

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
await model.performOperation(async operation => {
    const face = operation.createFace(model, [[0, 0, 0], [100, 0, 0], [100, 100, 0]]);
    // note this only works for either top level geometry OR nested component instances and depends on use_hidden_geometry, use_hidden_objects
    operation.sceneSetDrawingElementVisibility(scene, face, false);
}, 'Update scene');
